Symbol

Definition: a representation of something else.

Example: The Apple Company logo symbolizes the apple that fell on Newton's head which lead to the discovery of gravity. Also it represents taking a "byte" out of the apple of knowledge.

Significance: Symbolism in poetry is important because it communicates the meaning of the words. Metaphors and similes are symbols, and they make the poem more thoughtful.This makes the poem more 3-D and interesting to read.
